Albrecht Dürer's House, Art museum and historic residence in Old Town, Nuremberg, Germany.
Albrecht Dürer's House is a five-story timber-frame building with a sandstone base and distinctive half-hip roof located in the Old Town. The interior is divided into exhibition spaces that display artworks from Nuremberg's collection and a reconstructed printing workshop.
The building was constructed in 1420 and housed Dürer's residence and workshop from 1509 to 1528. In 1828 it became Germany's first artist memorial site.
The house displays furnishings and objects from Dürer's era that show how a wealthy artist's family lived day-to-day. Visitors see how a successful Renaissance craftsman organized both his home and his work.
Plan your visit for morning hours when fewer visitors are present and you can explore the rooms more easily. Regular tours and printing demonstrations happen on specific weekdays, so check the schedule before you go.
An actress portraying Dürer's wife Agnes leads visitors through the rooms while sharing personal stories from the Renaissance. This performance brings the historical period to life in a way that feels more immediate and relatable.
